Light of Motiram, which has earned some critical ire due to its clear and broad “inspiration” from the Horizon series, is coming to PS5 and mobile platforms. Plus, there’s also a 16-minute gameplay trailer! You can see for yourself and see how far the comparisons go. Surprise, it looks a lot like Horizon and Palworld too?
This news about new platforms for the game came via the game‘s official social media accounts on Weibo, making the game the Chinese video game industry’s latest foray into the console market. This is, of course, good news for PS5 and rugged mobile owners looking for some new games from an emerging market in the future. However, with no release date yet, it remains a mystery how long we’ll have to wait until the game is actually playable.
As for the gameplay trailer, it’s a demonstration of what players will eventually be able to do in Light of Motiram. We see the player character fight and command various mechanical beasts in a vast open world, as well as take on enemies with his trusty bow in a manner quite similar to Horizon. However, Palworld seems to be another big inspiration here, as the player can build and maintain a base with the help of mechanical workers. It’s worth noting that the satirical workplace abuse present in Palworld seems to be absent here. After all, if robots can’t be sad, they can hardly complain about exhausting work and short breaks.
The game looks pretty good! Obviously, you have to personally weigh whether you’re okay with the game‘s absorption of other games’ aesthetics and gameplay systems, but if you don’t mind that sort of thing, then it comes across as an attractive fusion of current popular games. . Whether or not the game will be able to surpass the reputation it has gained since its reveal among some players remains to be seen, although it may not even be a concern at all! After all, these same criticisms were levied on Palworld, and it turned out to be a hugely popular game. We’ll have to sit back and watch how widespread this style of development becomes in the current era of the video game industry.
